Wizards Releases 3.5 Edition System Reference

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the rules-lawyering-and-world-building dept.

Randar the Lava Liza writes "Wizards of the Coast have released the 3.5 Edition System Reference Document. Essentially it's the three core rulebooks in RTF format. This includes the 3.5 Edition Player's Handbook, 3.5 Edition Dungeon Master's Guide and 3.5 Edition Monster Manual. All of these are released under their Open Gaming License. You can also read a very interesting review of 3.5 Edition by Monte Cook, one of the original creators of 3rd Edition D&D. He goes into detail on a number of the changes in this new edition."

    Still no fucking good. One one hand, why the fuck would I pay $30 for those fucking books I see in the bookstore when I can get them for free? On the other hand, these downloaded books don't look anything like the fucking books you can buy! How the fuck do you guys play D&D, by constantly cross-referencing two sets of books that are similar but different?! Fuck that! Good thing we have fucking games like Baldurs Gate because real D&D is like fucking doing your taxes, always looking shit up in books when all you really want to do is smash some fucking goblin skull.

    So the fucking Open-d20 system changes what is already set in the DnD manuals? They should fucking print a new version of the DnD manuals that have pictures and shit in it, based on 3.5 for fuck's sake. Everything's a fucking cross reference.
